I can you help you with this part. Dewey Fern Cady was not this Benjamin Johnson's
daughter. She was my grandmother. There were two other Benjamin Johnson's in the
family. Henry had a son Benjamin Johnson (this is Dewey's father) and he in turn had
son named Benjamin Johnson.
The original did die in Kansas at the home of Polly. Another cousin has a copy of the
obit from the newspaper and I have copy somewhere. None of the rest of us have ever been
able to verify who the original BJ's parents are. In one census he says he was born
in 1795 and in another 1805. He also states on one census he was born in New York and the
other in Ohio. I have also seen copies of this. He seems to be a dubious fellow and has
led many of us on a merry chase so far.
